Abstract
We demonstrate that Simian Foamy viruses (SFV) types 1, 2, 4 and 10 do not induce Interferon (IFN) production in mouse and primate (simian and human) cell lines, but that their cytopathogenic effect is blocked by this viral inhibitor. The mechanisms of action of IFN seems to be different from that of other Retroviridae. No trapping of virions appears in treated cells examined by ectron microscopy. Moreover, neither precursor nor mature virus particles were observed in infected cultures submitted to IFN treatment.Entities:
